Chapter 158 Heroes go out
Gao Gong's confidence is not unreasonable. When he met Yang Bo in Zhending Mansion last year, Old Yang had already communicated with him... Shanxi merchants' infiltration of Tatars had reached a very deep level.
How deep is it? Several of Altan's sons have been dragged into the water by them. The Taiji people expressed their hope to practice tribute with the Ming Dynasty. They will no longer invade the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will also open border trades, and everyone will do business happily together.
Even Altan was moved by the Shanxi merchants. He led tens of thousands of troops into Xuanda every year, and sometimes he went twice a year. Who could stand this? The Han people who were a little capable had moved inwardly and hid far away in places he could not grab. As for the common people who could not leave, they had already been robbed of their families and had no choice but to rob them.
It is also said that the army is not just a decoration. Although they dare not fight against Altan's army head-on, they will take crazy revenge after every invasion. In late autumn, the grassland is withered and yellow, and at a glance, the Ming army will send light cavalry to the Tatar pastures, "burn wasteland" everywhere, and burn all the grass, so that the cattle and sheep of Altan's tribe cannot survive the winter.
Today, Ma Fang, the general of Datong, is a fierce man. He takes advantage of the scattered Mongolian parts and leads his personal soldiers to raid the Tatar camps from time to time, 'burn their nests', set fire to burn their tents, kill their tribesmen and cattle and sheep. By making tooth-for-tat, Altan Khan also tastes the taste of being accused of being poorly protected by various ministries.
In order to give an explanation to the tribe that was raided, Altan could only invade the Ming territory more frequently, which led to Ma Fang's even more crazy burning the wilderness and damaging the nest.
This kind of revenge and revenge cycle is actually Altan.
The Ming Dynasty had two capitals and 13 provinces. Not to mention Xuanda, what if the entire northern Shanxi was destroyed? There is also a fertile land in Jiangnan and Huguang that can support the border army. The people of Altan were soldiers and soldiers were people, and the people were damaged, the troops would be defeated. Even if their family had great achievements, they could not bear it.
Moreover, the grassland is not a single piece. There is Ola in the west and Urianha in the east, all coveting his Hetao and waiting for the decline of the Tatars. Altan actually had the idea of stopping harming each other with the Ming Dynasty, but he had been invading the Ming Dynasty for decades, and his hands were full of blood and debts. The Ming people who died in his hands were not one million or hundreds of thousands. Not to mention the distance, just say that he slaughtered Shizhou in the first year of Longqing and killed more than 50,000 people!
The Ming Dynasty was famous for its stones and stinking and hard... When the Grand Tutor Yesian escorted their emperor to the city of Beijing, he dared to shoot his mother. Altan really had no confidence that the people of the Ming Dynasty could make a fuss with him.
Moreover, things on the grassland are never a matter of one person. Among Altan's many children and grandchildren, at least half of them are deadly stubborn people. In order to avoid tribal division, he has never mentioned "peace talks".
As for Gao Gong's side, the Shanxi Gang's condition to support him was to make peace with Altan. In order to make him stand up for the public and deal with this matter, Lao Yang gave up his position as the Heavenly Official, so Gao Gong had no choice but to do it under the pretext of being insulted.
Of course, Gao Gong also agreed with the peace talks, otherwise he would not accept it even if the Shanxi Gang gave him the position of chief minister.
So after Gao Gong took office, he moved his same year Fang Fengshi from the governor of Liaodong to the governor of Datong, and another uncle of the same year, Zhang Siwei, and the pillar of the Jin Party, from the governor of Shaanxi to the governor of Xuanda, and increased his control over the front line of Xuanda to the point where he could perform micro-operation.
~~
In addition, Gao Gong also sent a detailed work to Hetao.
This person's name is Lu Guang, and he is the hero who came to the capital for Xu Jie to perform.
After entering Beijing in the spring of the third year of Longqing, Daxia Lu moved with the Xu family from many places, and was about to help Master Xu overcome this disaster. Unexpectedly, there was a loud noise in the sky and the high arch fell from the sky.
Gao Ge Lao and Xu Ge Lao had a deep hatred. All the people who spoke for Xu Jie immediately retreated, for fear that Gao Huzi would use it as Xu's party to sacrifice to the flag.
In desperation, Lu Guang bribed another hero with a large sum of money, asking for a way out for Xu Jie.
Yes, it was Shao Fang, the hero Shao. The so-called "one person can achieve enlightenment, and the chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven, not to mention that in Gao Gong's view, he was his greatest hero, who was helping him out of the mud and standing back on the clouds to help him in time. So he left Shao Fang in the capital to give advice for him, obey his words and trusted him.
The high-ranking officials and nobles soon knew that the old man was as honest as water and was not favored by personal feelings. If he wanted to do things, he could only follow the path of Shao Daxia. Therefore, Shao Daxia, no, Mr. Luxue is now a crowd of friends and a famous spokesperson for the prime minister.
Maybe it’s a hero, maybe it’s a hero, maybe it’s a hero, maybe it’s a hero that he likes to challenge the impossible, so he actually leads him to see Gao Gong.
At first, it was fine, but after Gao Gong heard about Lu Guang's purpose, he immediately changed his face and color, scolded Shao Fang for interfering in politics and got up and leaving.
Lu Guang knelt on the ground and cried loudly, Gao Gong's wife softened her heart and advised him to forgive others if he wanted to forgive him. Gao Gong finally let go and said that he could write to Hai Rui and let him go to Ge Lao Xu. But there was a condition that Lu Guang had to go to Hetao secretly and persuade Altan to accept the peace talks.
When Xia Yan supported Zeng Xian's "Fujian", Gao Gong was in the Hanlin Academy. He was also a die-hard supporter of "Fujian". He was very impressed by this popular capital city, Lu Daxia. He remembered that this man wandered between the Han and Mongolian tribes, and knew very well about the mountains, rivers, and terrain, and humanistic customs of the inner and outer covers, and even dealt with Altan.
Later, by chance, Lu Guang became the disciple of the three-sided governor Zeng Xian. The plan for the reconciliation was given to Zeng Xian and vigorously went to Beijing to lobby.
It has to be said that Gao Gong, the Minister of Personnel, knew people well and was good at placing people. Lu Guang's biggest regret in his life was that he finally discussed the issue and was killed by Yan Song. Although it was not his fault, it was the result of Jiajing being timid and trying to save face, Lu Guang still felt deeply guilty.
Just when he thought he was going to regret for his whole life, he heard that he had the opportunity to go to the grassland to complete his unfinished career... Although the "reconciliation" is far from "peace of peace", they can bring peace to the border of the Ming Dynasty and make up for many years of regrets. It can comfort Xia Yuanfu and Zengbutang's spirit in heaven.
Although in order not to leave any handle and before confirming Altan's attitude, Gao Gong would not give him any appointments or documents, Lu Guang accepted the task without hesitation, and only took two disciples away from the capital, went out of Datong to the vast Chilechuan, and found Altan's tribe.
Unexpectedly, Altan no longer remembers the "Doctor Lu" who treated him twenty years ago. After all, the Tumote tribe is now the undisputed overlord of Mongolian tribes. They kicked the former grassland overlord Chahar tribe to Liaodong, and controlled the vast area from north of Xuanda in the east, to Hetao in the west, to the Gobi Desert in the north, and to the south, to the Great Wall.
A few years ago, because he could not bear Ma Fang's harassment, in order to open a ranch away from Datong, Altan and his children and grandchildren drove the Wastu tribe to Kobdo, conquered Qinghai, and even used troops to Tibet for a while. How could he see this overlord who had a 100,000 string under his command?
As a result, Altan didn't see him, but fortunately there was a lack of doctors in the tribe, so he kept him for the nobles to see the doctor.
After so many things, Lu Guang had the least lacking in patience. He patiently lived in the Tatar court, making friends with Altan's children and grandchildren while waiting for the opportunity to come.
Soon, Lu Guang met Altan's grandson, Jaunaji, through a guard named Alige who saved that year. Although Altan has many children and grandchildren, this Jaunaji is not very different. He is the only son of Altan's third son Tiebettyji. He became an orphan at the age of three. He was raised by his grandmother, Altan's main wife for a moment. Therefore, he has the deepest relationship with Hatun and is the most favored one among Altan's grandsons.
Lu Guang wanted to influence Altan by using Han Naji to influence Altan, so he kept instilling the prosperity and countless benefits of the Ming Dynasty in him. After a year, he brainwashed a young Mongolian aristocratic man who was ignorant of the world into a spiritual Ming Dynasty who was devoted to the Celestial Empire. He wished he could wear his hair and robe in the Tatar royal court and dress up as a Han.
Lu Guang hurriedly advised him, saying that if you wear it rashly, you are asking for trouble. If you really want to wear it, you might as well talk to your grandfather and make up with Daming. By then, you can wear whatever you want, and it will be fine if you go to Suzhou and Hangzhou for a trip.
He felt itchy when he heard this, but he finally said: "It's impossible. Grandpa won't listen to me. He just treats me as a little brat."
"..." Lu Guang's eyes turned dark when he heard this, and his feelings were in vain. Seeing that the task was not completed, he wanted to assassinate Altan directly. Of course, that was impossible, it would cause an endless battle.
Just when he was desperate, something suddenly happened, which made him have a plan.
At that time, Hannaji was already married, but his Beji was ugly and his husband and wife's life was very disharmonious. Hannaji was thinking about his cousin... that is, Altan's granddaughter, Zhong Jin, the daughter of Zheheng Aha, the leader of the Olachilagut tribe. The little girl is as beautiful as a flower, known as Xishi on the grassland, and is the dream lover of countless young Mongolians.
He repeatedly asked Hannaji to marry him, but Zheheng Aha refused to agree. How could he let his father make his pearl in his hand small? Bugu felt offended.
But he didn't give up and begged his grandmother in every way, asking his grandfather to come forward to say goodbye. Altan was a little afraid of his wife, so he couldn't help but talk, so he had to take Hannaji to Ordos in person. After all, he agreed to give up the position of Beji to Zhong Jin, which forced Zheheng Aha to nod.
Since he agreed to the marriage, Zhong Jin also entered the account to pay homage to his grandfather and future husband.
When Han Naji saw Zhong Jin, who was so charming and possessed all the love, he suddenly felt that many years of hard pursuit was worth it. He was so happy that he didn't know what his surname was.
Lu Guang, who came with him, made an amazing discovery-Altan Khan looked at Zhong Jin, which was very abnormal!
It was definitely not the grandfather’s doting look at his granddaughter or the gratitude when he looked at his granddaughter, but the unconcealed desire! He wanted to swallow this charming little beauty into his stomach...
